Hi,
Just joined the list, and this is first time foray into SQL databases,
so apologies for the (most likely) lame questions.
I have installed 9.4 with PostGIS on Ubuntu 14.10 64bit Desktop.
After install I didn't like where the default databases went to, so I did:
mkdir /mnt/geo_md1/postgres
chown postgres:postgres /mnt/geo_md1/postgres
su postgres
postgres(at)gs01:/home/geograph$ createuser -s -d -e --replication zls
postgres(at)gs01:/home/geograph$ pg_dropcluster –stop 9.4 main
postgres(at)gs01:/home/geograph$ pg_createcluster --start -d
/mnt/geo_md1/postgres 9.4 gisdata
After fiddling for a few days, I now want to start afresh, by deleting
all data and creating a new area in a different directory, but:
neither:
postgres(at)gs01:/etc$ pg_dropcluster –-stop 9.4 gisdata
Usage: /usr/bin/pg_dropcluster [--stop] <version> <cluster>
nor
postgres(at)gs01:/etc$ pg_dropcluster –-stop 9.4 postgres
Usage: /usr/bin/pg_dropcluster [--stop] <version> <cluster>
works.
I've done no createdb commands, so dopdb shouldn't be what I want for
this cleanup (I'd think).
Please can someone spot my oversight.
I'd like to cleanup, change the mount-point for my RAID, and then create
a fresh start.
Thanks in advance,
Zoltan
